Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Transport Canada lists: Cherokee 2019–2023

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the power transfer unit (PTU) could become damaged and fail. If this happens, there could be a loss of power to the wheels and/or the vehicle could move when it's parked and the parking brake isn't applied. Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a two-speed PTU.

Why it matters

A loss of power to the wheels or a parked vehicle that moves suddenly could create the risk of an injury and/or a crash.

What the dealer will do

FCA Canada will notify owners in writing. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the rearview camera image may be displayed even after the transmission is shifted out of reverse. This could cause a possible distraction for the driver. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to turn off within 10 seconds after shifting from reverse gear.

Why it matters

A driver that is distracted could have an increased risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the radio software.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the steering gear.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
